Firefighters have issued a white goods safety reminder after a house fire on Brentwood Road in Romford.
Part of the ground floor of a semi-detached house was damaged by fire. There were no reports of any injuries.
The cause of the fire is believed to have involved a fridge freezer.
A London Fire Brigade spokesperson said: “If your white goods start making a strange noise, don’t ignore it. If you think there’s a problem always unplug it and contact the manufacturer or a qualified repair technician.
"Most fires where white goods are the source of ignition are not down to anything you have done – so always make sure you register your appliances as you’ll be informed if any issues are identified with the product you’ve bought."
The Brigade was called at 0900 and the fire was under control by 0926. Two fire engines and around 10 firefighters from Dagenham and Hornchurch fire stations attended the scene.
